Did you know that the average height for a man in the UK these days is 5ft 10in? It seems to keep going up and up, the new generation are getting taller.
If you feel on the short side and would like to be taller, you can’t. You can however dress to make yourself look taller.
It’s all about wearing the right clothes, colours and styles, which will make you appear taller than you actually are.
Here’s how you can look taller and slimmer simply by choosing the right clothes for your body.
Did you know there are rules for buttoning suits?
Neither did I, but there is.
Luckily the rules are very simple to follow. Once you know, you’ll be looking around at the other guys to see if they’re breaking these rules.
So, what is the simple rule to buttoning a suit?
This is one of those questions which I’ve been asked a couple of times, and if you ask people or the Internet, you’re likely to get different answers.
Some will be strict high class fashion etiquette, and some will be a more informal approach.
Should your belt match your shoes?
This week’s question: Can I Wear A Shirt And Tie Without A Jacket?
There may be occasions where you need to wear a tie, which also means pairing it with a shirt. When you do this, do you need to add a smart jacket, suit jacket or blazer to your outfit?
The short answer is no, you should not wear a shirt and tie without a jacket. A tie usually comes as part of a formal dress code which means wearing a suit jacket or blazer, so completes the outfit.
There is of course more to it than that, which is what I’ll explain below.
What’s the point in a watch? Why wear a watch when you have a phone that tells you the time?
Does that sound familiar?
If you think that, you’re not alone. There’s so many people who think like that.
Whenever I tell people I still really love to wear a watch on my wrist and ask them about watches, this is usually their answer.
I love wearing a watch, they are one of the most stylish things a guy can own. There’s a lot a watch says about you too.

What colour shoes go with a navy suit?

Winter is most definitely here!
It’s that time of the year again. It’s getting very cold, and you need a winter coat.
If you’re looking for a new coat to wear outdoors in the British winter, you’ll want to make a good investment.
It’s all about getting the right coat to last.
You’ll be able to wear this throughout the year, from October until March, and who knows, maybe longer. Getting the right coat can also last you years, so making the right investment can pay off in the long run.
The UK may not be the coldest place in the world, but knowing that doesn’t warm you up on a cold winter night.
With that said, investing in a good jacket is worth it. You’ll be getting much better quality which will be noticeable when you wear it, as well as it lasting longer than a cheap and cheerful coat.

A bomber jacket is one of the most versatile jackets any man can wear.
There is no doubt about it, I love bomber jackets. They’re a casual style of jacket which are short in length, perfect for throwing over your outfit for smart casual style.
With a vast array of styles, colour and materials, it’s a piece of clothing which can be worn as a casual piece. In my opinion, it’s a great choice when you need to wear an extra layer, but not cold enough to warrant wearing a fully blown ‘big’ coat.
In this guide you’ll see how to style a bomber jacket, and everything else you need to know about them.
